Liquefied Natural Gas Market, by Application (Power Generation, Transportation, Mining & Industrial, Others), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
The increasing focus on developing gas pipeline infrastructure and favorable government regulations is projected to fuel growth of global liquefied natural gas market over the forecast period. Asia Pacific held highest revenue share in the global liquefied natural gas market in 2016 and is expected to maintain its dominance in the near future. This is mainly due to presence of largest LNG exporter countries in the region such as Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Increasing utilization of advanced biofuels in transportation sector, as it is a clean and readily available alternative source to fossil fuels, is expected to fuel growth of the liquefied natural gas market over the forecast period.
Key drivers such as changing trend towards clean energy sources, increasing demand for liquefied natural gas in transportation, and government initiatives to improve production capacity in collaboration with global manufacturers across every region are expected to fuel growth of the global liquefied natural gas market over the forecast period (2020-2030).
Growing demand for natural gas also helps in reducing the emission of harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Increased usage of this fuel in the mining, industrial and power generation sectors has displayed a significant change over the historic period. A decline in the prices, as well as low fuel switching costs, are enhancing the industry growth in the transportation and power generation application.
Market Dynamics
Asia Pacific is held highest market share of global LNG market in 2021. Growing economy of China, Japan, Indonesia and India are propelling demand for clean and natural gases. This in turn is increased demand for liquefied natural gas in various applications such as power generation, transportation, mining, industrial etc. Europe held second largest market share of global LNG market in 2021 and the region is expected to keep its position in the market through 2030.
The demand for liquefied natural gas is increasing from various end-use industries such as the mining industry, chemical industry, food processing, and other industries. For mines operating in remote areas which do not have access to grid-connect electricity, in many such cases, natural gas-powered generators provide peak and base load generation for electricity and heat. This is expected to drive the market growth of the global liquefied natural gas market.
